Re: Remember EasyPeasy? Would you like it to live on?

Yes I remember in 2010 using Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook on my Asus eeePC, the classic one with 4GB SDD. At that time working abroad, I used it as a kind of desktop with a cheap ($15) second hand 15" LCD display, a 16GB SD card and a 40GB USB disk. When in my apartment(hotel), I did not touch my work laptop with Vista. Nowadays I still look at it from time to time in Virtualbox.

I probably would use it on my old P-III laptop, that my wife is using in her small restaurant to play music. I would prefer it over Lubuntu. After remembering that GUI, I might re-install 10.04.

It was upgraded nicely up to Oneiric, and after that there was/is a little trouble. This is really fast, and now I am wondering why our "devs" keep on making new DEs and make everything slow.

Unity works with Gnome 3 and if not for Gnome 3, this EasyPeasy would be alive today.
Yes, I have serious questions about the ideas of the devs, who produce slower DEs!

If I forget that there is a Precise built and further builds, Quantal and Raring, I can happily stay back with Oneiric, Natty or even Lucid. Who is going to tell me that I can't install the latest Chrome/Chromium or Firefox?

I think the devs are wasting time re-doing DEs/WMs, rather than making the well used DEs/WMs better! I think this "development" is all about money.

I liked that desktop. In my taste it was the best desktop till 2011. I still would love to have it on my older PCs, but I would not replace Unity on the newer PCs.
In Unity I love the single click launcher, the right click menus and the integration with websites. Slowly the top bar and the Dash become more useful and I see some future potential in the HUD, if combined with e.g. speech recognition.

Hello Jon,

It is your creation, and you thought about it and the ideas grew in your mind. I am a guy, who tries out an idea and I thought it could be upgraded, without touching the EasyPeasy part, only the base, so I tried and brought safely to Oneiric. I like the EasyPeasy part as it is, whatever the base.

Jon, I downloaded the 2.0, but didn't like it--it was just Gnome 3-- as it didn't have the EasyPeasy part.

Anyway, EasyPeasy is yours and you should get the credit. Actually, it is the best GUI/DE I've seen up to now!

I tried to contact you, but couldn't and today I found a way in your website. Glad you responded. I'll write to you some time tomorrow.
